Military Dept. - Term 3

Well, it's Term 4 of the Military Dept.

Once again I, Falcon02, am the Military Leader and Pheonix is the Military Deputy.

I will continue to fulfill my duties to the best of my abilities.

Congrats to both Falcon02 and Phoenix!

Phoenix · Jul 2, 2002

Well done Falcon02! Thanks for all those for voted for me. Hopefully we should be able to crush Greece quickly in this term. Any thoughts on mobilising the economy? I don't think it is necessary... yet.

Cyc · Jul 2, 2002

Congrats on your return to office, Falc.

General Falcon, as you know, we still have 2 caravels on our northern coast! Any need for those to be upgraded to transports?

Curufinwe · Jul 2, 2002

Mobilization! Why are you even mentioning such a thing. There is NO need for it, and it would basically destroy The wonder building program and the CAP program. Those are vital to us, and as such should not be tampered with. I shall oppose it until the day it is no longer an option.

Sorry if there was any misunderstanding. No I also don't think it is necessary. It is only to be considered as a last option. I was only asking if anybody thought that it was necessary (we need something to talk about :lol:

).

I feel Mobilization is only an issue if we face such a threat that our existance or victory is threatened.

About the Transports, These need to be upgraded as soon as possible and we should work on building up a navy, in case we need to go to war with any far away nations or even England. By Using multiple transports in a D-Day style invasion we can potentially grab any target, esp. those near sea. I did this not to long ago and was able to take Leo's Workshop from the Largest nation in the world, using convoys of about 6-8 fully loaded Transports.

How much gold will you be needing for your upgrades, General? You might want to come up with a figure and post in the Budget Request thread.

Chieftess · Jul 3, 2002

This is a reminder to all cabinet members and governors to post their build queues and turn chat instructions for tonights turn chat, if they haven't done so already.

The city of Delphi would like to call for military support in urgently scaring away or destroying the greek forces in our territories.

Chieftess · Jul 3, 2002

General Falcon! The offensive operation against the Greeks is complete! Our goals have been met: Taking of Kashmir, Capturing the remaining 4 Greecian cities. It would also please you to learn that a Great Leader, Darius, has come from our Elite Immortal Division - against an elite infantryman for the battle of Sparta!

Falcon02 · Jul 3, 2002

Greece has been crushed! And, we now have a border with our archenemy, Babylon, we shall guard it carefully.

I will be requesting the required 120 gold for upgrading our aging Caravels.

That new army should get filled with tanks, maybe 1 infantryman. However, I feel pure Tanks with Infantry escorts would be best, so we don't hurt mobility.

We also must make an attempt to plant spies in every major opponent, esp. Babylon. There is a risk of starting wars with those who are really mad at us if the attempt fails, but I think in many cases it would bring many benefits.

Lecky · Jul 4, 2002

Our ancient dockyards have laid idle for too long! Now that the Greek scum have been wiped from OUR continent, lets think about the naval programme which has for so long been put on hold. Certainly upgrade the Caravels to Transports. Our magnificent modern Destroyer will soon be joined by a beautiful big BB! We should now be selecting certain harbour-cities for further naval construction. Shailonegha, our ancient fleet HQ, could also produce a BB in six turns. A few more Destroyers and some Subs and we will at last have a Navy worthy of our great nation - capable of enforcing our foreign policy and protecting our coasts.

Almightyjosh · Jul 4, 2002

There is currently a plan to construct a destroyer in the coastal city of El Amarna, Asphinxia, to patrol the Chinese coast. If this needs the support of the Military Leader, I urge him to consider the important step of achieving naval dominance to protect our coasts.

punkbass2000 · Jul 4, 2002

I would like to go on record as being against planting spies in the capitals of other nations. It is subversive, cowardly and dishonourable to do so. It is also not very likely to work, very expensive, and quite likely to 'accidentally' embroil us in yet another war.

Almightyjosh · Jul 4, 2002

Hah!! If we were embroiled in another war, it would serve them right!!!!

Lets conquer China and Rome, we don't really need the land, but it'll be fun and we can stop worring about them altogether. Friendly?? No. Good idea?? Yep.

punkbass2000 · Jul 4, 2002

IIRC, we voted againsy war, and I thinking underminig the will of the people for your own twisted ends is deplorable.

Eklektikos · Jul 4, 2002

Most importantly in game terms, attempting to plant spies could seriously undermine our efforts to achieve a Diplomatic Victory. If a spy operation fails it will annoy the civ against which it was perpetrated, even if they don't feel confident about going to war with us.

Falcon02 · Jul 4, 2002

Many times I've planted spies against polite nations and they have remined polite, for at least the first failure.

The spy thing should likely be put to a poll, because it's VERY risky.

Also, the victory goal should also be put to poll. From before I got the feeling a Diplomacy victory wasn't as popular as the Spaceship victory. We must be certian about this goal before taking such risks that could hurt our diplomatic standing.

About the navy, I support a massive build up of naval forces. Mostly subs and destroyers for mass production and Battleships mostly for artillary support. And then we should build at least 2 Carriers. filling them with Bombers except for 1 Fighter for air cover.

Now that we have Tank Tech, our internal Army production should be geared twoards tanks, not Infantry or Artillary, but not neglecting them of course.
